Asking about a cash advance <询问预借现金>Customer: If I need to get some cash with my credit card, what is the limit?Clerk: That depends on your credit limit.

What h appened? Where'd they go? Here's how we describe that disappearing act:1. He must have a late case of spring fever, he's been skiving off class for a wee k.To many, "playing truant" might be the most familiar translation for "逃学". In fact, " play truant" is somewhat British and formal. To "skive off" <偷懒逃学、逃课> is mor e colloquial.2. Boy, there was hardly a soul around this afternoon. Many students cut class for an outing."To cut class" <逃课,翘课> is a very common expression. It has both a formal and informal sound. "To skip class" is interchangeable with "cut class". For example: Wow, I managed to get an interview tomorrow, but I'm afraid I'm going to have to skip class to get to it.3. I saw her with her boyfriend on my way to class.

Asking about an annual fee <询问年费>Customer: Is there an annual fee from the bank or the credit card company?Clerk: Yes, there's a 100-yuan annual fee. If you have at least six transactions, the fee is waived.This is different from a debit card <借记卡>. An annual service fee/charge <年费> can come from the issuing bank <发卡银行> or the credit card company. Transacti on <交易> is a formal bank word for "usage". Waive: 免除,取消. For example,The school has decided to waive his tuition because of his high grades last year.2. Asking about credit limit <询问信用额度>Customer: What's the credit limit on a student card?Clerk: It's usually 3,000 yuan a month. But it depends on your credit rating.

Due date: 还款日期.Relax at restaurantsDINING out with friends is a great way to socialize. So, study these sentences and they'll help you relax the next time you're in a restaurant.1. May I have the menu, please? 请给我看下菜单.Obviously, looking at the menu is the first step at a restaurant. Often, the waiter h as already brought it. If not, this is the polite way to get one. Other common ways to ask are:I'd like to see the menu, please.Could you get me a menu please?2. We'd like to order now, please. / I believe we're ready to order. 我想点菜.Next, you have to order. Sometimes, the waiter will ask,"Can I take your order no w?"<现在可以点菜了吗？>. If you're ready, simply answer "Yes, please." If you are not ready, say "Not quite. Could we have a few more minutes?"3.

We may sti ll be feeling a bit lazy, so, how about practising some tongue twisters? These can help loosen up your tongue and your mind. See how long it takes you to move fro m apprentice level to master.Apprentice:A laurel-crowned clown.A noisy noise annoys an oyster.Flip flops fly off your feet for fun.Professional:A tidy tiger tied a tie tighter to tidy her tiny tail.A flea and a fly flew up a flue. Said the flea, "Let us fly!" Said the fly, "Let us fle e!" So they flew through a flaw in the flue.A snow-white swan swam swiftly to catch a slowly swimming snake in a lake.Expert:All I want is a proper cup of coffee made in a proper copper <铜的> coffee pot, y ou can believe it or not, but I just want a cup of coffee in a proper coffee pot. Tin coffee pots or iron coffee pots are of no use to me. If I can't have a proper cup of coffee in a proper copper coffee pot, I'll have a cup of tea!Master:A tree toad <树蛙> loved a she-toad who lived up in a tree. He was a two-toed tr ee toad but a three-toed toad was she. The two-toed tree toad tried to win the thr ee-toed she-toad's heart, for the two-toed tree toad loved the ground that the three -toed tree toad trod <踩> on. But the two-toed tree toad tried in vain. With her thr ee-toed power the she-toad vetoed <否决> him.Some criticism can be harshSPRING Festival is approaching. You'd better hold on to your wallet tightly, or you could go bankrupt in the holiday shopping madness. But, you'd also better be pre pared to face people's jokes or mockery about your being mean.If you choose not to spend, here's how criticism can sound ? from the mildest to t he harshest:1. She's such a penny-pincher. 她真是个守财奴.This sounds almost literal, but, for some reason, is somewhat light-hearted. To pinc h: 节省,捏紧.2. He's really tight-fisted. 他很吝啬.This is also literal sounding. It's also obviously similar to the Chinese expression "手很紧".3. He's such a stingy person. 他是个很小气的人.This one can have a slightly angrier tone to it. Stingy: 吝啬的,小气的.4. What a miser! 真是个吝啬鬼！Also, like sentence 3, a fairly offensive comment.5. He's such a tightwad. 他真是个小气鬼.This one carries a bit of an angry tone. Tightwad: 吝啬鬼,守财奴.6. Money means everything to her. 她视钱如命.This one is even stronger criticism.7. He's a real scrooge. 他是个不折不扣的守财奴.This term, from the character in British writer Charles Dickens' A Christmas Carol, may be old, but it's still fresh and harsh. Scrooge: 吝啬鬼.8. She'd sell her twin sister <if she had one> for a few pennies. 为了几个小钱,要她卖了她双胞胎姐妹她都愿意.This one may sound funny, but it's often really offensive. It also has variations: e.g. He'd sell his own mother just for some extra cash. 21STDon't keep putting things offAS the end of the year, or another semester, approaches, we need to pay attentio n to the time. To help you out, we give some terms from deadlines and schedules.1. The report is due on Friday/ this coming Friday. 这个报告这个周五要交.Note: If you're talking about the end of the current week on Monday, Tuesday, or Wednesday, "on Friday" is OK. But, If you're referring to Friday on a Saturday or Sunday, "this coming Friday" is clearer than "next Friday".2. We have a research paper due every other week. 我们每两周就要交篇论文. Note: We also have "every other day" <每隔一天>.I have to see my dentist every three days. <我每隔三天就要去看一次牙医.>However, "every single day" means every day. "Single" simply strengthen the repeti tive sense.Mom, why should I have to brush my teeth every single day? <妈妈,为什么我每一天都得刷牙啊？>3. We are out of time. 我们时间不够了.Note: You're sweating on the final test, and suddenly the teacher announces, "We'r e running out of time. Be sure to sign your tests." <时间快到了,请确定考卷填好了# #> So, you try to write down as many words as possible in the final minutes until he announces, "Time's up".4. How much longer do you need to get all this stuff done? 你还要多久才能把事情做完？Note: "How much longer" puts emphasis on the length of the time <sometimes with an air of annoyance or impatience>, while "How long" is a neutral expression sim ply asking for the numerical figure.5. Don't put things off until the last minute next time.下次不要再临阵磨枪了.Note: You can also put something off until the "last second", depending on how di sorganized you are. For those who do, there's another expression: "I'm cramming f or the test." <我正在临时抱佛脚,准备考试.>Be an ace in your conversationLAST week we talked about some expressions related to test preparation. But, it's almost mid-January now, so maybe some students have had several tests, or have even got the results. In any case, what do you say when being asked about your test score?1. Professor Li returned the philosophy tests today. 李教授今天把哲学考卷发下来了Note: There's no "test sheet" or "exam sheet" in English. Instead, it's just "test" <考卷> or "answer sheet" <答卷>.2. The TA is going to explain the test tomorrow. 助教明天会来讲解考题Note: TA is short for "teaching assistant", which is usually a graduate student who is paid to help the professor. It's a popular way for grad students to make some e xtra money <though usually not much>. People also say "go over the test" for disc ussing the results.3. I bombed on the test. 我考砸了Note: "Bomb" is similar to "fail" and "screw up" <It's as if a bomb had been dropp ed>. You could say, "I bombed on that date. She'll never want to see me again."4. I believe I can ace it next time. 我相信我下次一定能把它考好Note: An "ace", is the card in a deck of cards that can represent anything. It's als o a fighter pilot who's a hero <王牌驾驶员>. Here it's used as a verb. Of course,we can also say "score high on the test", but it's not as catchy.5. There's nothing to talk about. 没什么好说的Note: You failed the math exam and got depressed. A girl classmate, who doesn't recognize your depression, comes up and asks, "What's your score?" You don't wa nt to answer, so you say, "Well, there's nothing to talk about." Or, you can be eve n cooler with, "No comment".Now, let's turn to examsYES, it's a time for students to sweat, again! Exams are upon us. To add some s pice to this miserable period of time and get our minds in a different space, let's d iscuss some exam-related talk.1. exam, test, quiz <测验>, pop quiz <随堂小测验>Note: The above expressions are listed in the order of size and importance, from most serious to least serious, but with "exam" and "test" often used interchangeabl y.2. What's going to be covered on the test? / What's the test going to cover? 考试的X围是什么?Note: The most common way to ask about the content of the exam and the range of questions. Another expression is as follows: "Are you ready for the math test t omorrow?" "No. I'm not even sure of what'll be on it."3. The mid-term/final will be a comprehensive exam. 这次期末考/期中考是没有X围的Note: This is definitely the last thing you want to hear ? a comprehensive <test> may cover everything in your textbook, or even outside it.4. Where'd you get the old exam? 你从哪里拿到的以前的题?Note: A universally recognized way to get ready in the quickest possible time: an o ld exam <or "previous" or "past exam"> can be really helpful.5. I have to prepare for tomorrow's test. 我得准备明天的考试Note: Don't forget to add the word "for". If you say "I have to prepare the test," it means you're the person responsible for making it -- the professor.6. The philosophy test will be open book. 哲学考试是开卷考试Note: There are different types of tests: open book <开卷—可以看书>, or open not e <开卷—可以看笔记>. All are designed to test how well-prepared you are, but in a different way.Why the long face?HOW do you show your concern for a friend who seems to be in trouble? It's bett er for you to take a polite and less direct way to ask about the problem. Last wee k, we showed you five expressions. The following are five other options.1. Is something on your mind? / Do you have something on your mind? /What's o n your mind? 你担心什么呢?Note: This has a milder, easier tone but can still apply to serious problems such a s job dissatisfaction or even job loss or marital problems. Be on a person's mind: 有什么挂心的事2. Why are you so glum? 你怎么看起来闷闷不乐的？Note: Spoken in a mild tone, it sounds friendly and caring. Often used when some one is feeling blue or mildly depressed.3. Why the long face? 你怎么看起来这么疲惫？Note: Meaning "Why do you seem so unhappy?" The complete sentence would be "Why do you have such a long face?" <But, no one would ever say that.>4. You're not yourself today. / You don't seem to be yourself today. 你今天有点心神不宁.Note: Mild way of saying "you don't seem to be in such a good mood today" or "y ou don't seem to be feeling so well today". People also say "Sorry, I'm just not m yself today" <对不起,我也不知道今天我是怎么了>, as an excuse after not performing well on the job.5. Who are you irritated with? 谁惹你生气了？Note: This is used only in a very specific situation where someone is having a pro blem with another person. Be irritated with?: 为……而急躁,为……而发怒.Is there anything wrong with you?DO you sometimes see friends who aren't getting on well? Want to show your con cern for them by asking about the problem? The following expressions can help yo u out if there's an uneasy silence.1. What's the matter? / What's the problem? 你怎么了?Note: Commonly used to ask about any problems, physical, marital or financial. Do not confuse it with another expression "What's your problem?" <你什么毛病啊？>w hich is an aggressive way of saying "What IS wrong with you?" or "Why are you s uch a mess?"What's the matter? You look tired/sad/uneasy/a bit sick/troubled. <你怎么了?看起来有点累/伤心/不安/生病了/有烦心事.>2. What's wrong? / Is anything wrong? 出什么事了？I kept calling you last night, but you didn't answer the phone.

You don't seem to be able to concentrate. <你没事吧？你好像没法集中注意力.>4. Are you OK / all right? 你还好吧？Is everything OK / all right? 你没什么事吧？Note: Often used when people sense that something is wrong.5. What's going on? 出什么事了？What happened? / What's happening? 你有什么心事吗?Note: Because the first one has the broader use meaning "What are you doing/Wh at have you been doing lately" <你最近怎么样？>, it's not quite so serious. The sec ond and the third are often used when there has been some physical problem ? s omething broken or destroyed, some marital dispute, some accident.It's 'loong' against evil dragonSINCE early December, netizens <网民> have been proposing that we call the Chi nese dragon the "loong", so as to improve China's image.They argue that, since ancient times, the Chinese dragon has been seen as a sy mbol of China and was the emblem <徽章> of royal family. But in the West, drago ns are large monsters that breathe fire and eat people. "Dragon", they say, is not a suitable name for the Chinese creature that stands for good luck.So, what does the word "dragon" represent in the West? What makes it evil? The following will help give you a clue.The BibleThe history of the dragon as an evil monster in the West starts with the Bible. A s earch for the word "dragon" in the Bible produces 34 matches. The word is most directly translated as "sea or land monster" in the Old Testament <《旧约全书》>.There is also a Biblical description of Satan where he's described as a red dragon, with seven heads and 10 horns <角>, which is ready to eat a new-born child.Common speechExpressions using "dragon" are often negative.A dragon lady refers to a powerful, domineering <作威作福的> or dangerous woma n.They call her the dragon lady because she is always yelling at children. <他们把她叫做母夜叉,因为她总是对着孩子大吼大叫.>People use "chase the dragon" to refer to smoking.Joan's marriage broke up after she began chasing the dragon. <沉迷于"吞云吐雾"之后,琼的婚姻破裂了.>Another humorous but still negative usage appeared in recent years. A mouthwash ad in the US used the term "dragon breath". It refers to a man in the morning w ho hadn't brushed his teeth and who could knock a person over with his fierce bre ath.。
